AN UNHAPPY RULER,

Precautions Taken for tIIiSssafety Dsplorsd
BY Him.
ST. PErERsBuaGH, March l9.-The fol.
lowing is an authorized official declaration
concerning the attempt upon the life Of
the Gar: u.
Its not believed that the active section
Of the Constitutional party has such an
extensive and influential following as
some foreign journals represent. The
Constitutionalists, instead OF being wholly
distinct from the Nihilists, arc nothing
but the executors Of a mitder programme
cloaking the violent methods OF Nihilism
90 as to secure certain amount Of toler-
sncs from the educated, thoughtful classes
in Russia. The Cars advisers are con-
vinced from long observation that the in
auential classes IN Russia do not consider
that the time has yet arrived in tho polit-
ical development Of the Empire for the in
PRODUCTION Of a constitutional government
by His Majesty. Nor do the Panslayists
party desire conatitutionalism. On the
contrary, they declare that an autocratic
form Of government, tempered by lust
administration Of the codiled laws, is de.
sirable until Russian territorial expansion
has reached the limits set for it BY Pan
slavist ideas. State Socialism, as recently
promoted in Germany, is being carefully
studied by the Russian Government, the
Gear being well disposed in favor OF such
progressive economic changes in the ter
ritories under Russian sway as shall con-
duce to the happiness and welfare Of the
Russian people.
The Caar was deeply impressed by the
terrible circumstances under which his
father met his death. The last attempt
upon his own life, projected by NihiliBts,
produced a feeling Of horror. Still, it is
unlikely that 1t will load to change Of his
previous policy. His Majesty cannot but
view with mingled bitterness and regret
the position in which he is placed by the
threats and perils continually besetting
him. He deplores the necessity which
constantly exists for costly and extensive
precautions for his personal safety when
ever he desires to travel or even move be-
yond the precincts Of the palace-restric.
tions which impede his movements and
prevent his seeing his people as they are
and judging for himself concerning their
needs. The Cars aversion to plunging
Russia into ruinous and fruitless war
continues as great as ever. No change in
his convictions in this respect is expected
by his advisors except in conformity with
his views on Russian imperial interests.

policy, iuatlfying the view that 1t Is the
intention OF the Government to treat the
